Marte signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
After turning in a 6.92 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across 26 innings with the Phillies in 2024, Marte left the U.S. and signed with the Chunichi Dragons of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. The 30-year-old reliever succeeded in reviving his career by ending the 2025 NPB season with a 1.95 ERA over 32.1 frames, and he'll now get another chance to prove himself worthy of an MLB roster spot in camp.
